[Machine] I entered the house of Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when Abu Sufyan died. Umm Habibah sent for a perfume that had a yellowish color and applied it to a slave girl. Then she rubbed it on her cheeks and said, "By Allah, I have no need for this perfume except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Ibn Bukair said on the pulpit that it is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three nights, except for her husband for four months and ten days.'" Zaynab said, "I entered upon Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, when her brother Abdullah died. She sent for a perfume and applied it to herself. Then she said, 'I have no need for this perfume except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the pulpit that it is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three nights, except for her husband for four months and ten days.'"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَدَعَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ ؓ بِطِيبٍ فِيهِ صُفْرَةُ خَلُوقٍ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فَدَهَنَتْ مِنْهُ جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ مَسَّتْ بِعَارِضَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ مَالِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا 15516 وَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ تعالى عَنْهَا حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَخُوهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ ؓ فَدَعَتْ بِطِيبٍ فَمَسَّتْ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ مَالِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا  

[Machine] Salama reported: A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my daughter's husband has died, and her eye has been troubling her. Should she wear kohl?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No, for twice or three times. All of that is fine." Then he said, "Verily, it is only four months and ten days that she has left her home. And one of you, in Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic times) used to throw the 'burdah' (a garment) over her head." Humaid said, "I said to Zainab, 'What does it mean to throw the 'burdah' over the head?' She said, 'When a woman's husband died, she used to enter into seclusion and wear the worst of her clothes and not apply any perfume until a year had passed. She would then be given a beast, whether it was a donkey, a sheep, or a bird, and she would slaughter it by herself, and she would not slaughter anything until she died. And in the narration of Ash-Shafi'i: she would slaughter and then she would come out (of seclusion), and she would be given a 'burdah', which she would throw.'" (Sahih Bukhari)  

سَلَمَةَ ؓ تَقُولُ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ ابْنَتِي تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَقَدِ اشْتَكَتْ عَيْنَهَا أَفَنَكْحُلُهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا وَقَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ قُلْتُ لِزَيْنَبَ ؓ وَمَا تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ؟ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا دَخَلَتْ حِفْشًا فَلَبِسَتْ شَرَّ ثِيَابِهَا وَلَمْ تَمَسَّ طِيبًا حَتَّى تَمُرَّ بِهَا سَنَةٌ ثُمَّ تُؤْتَى بِدَابَّةٍ حِمَارٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ أَوْ طَيْرٍ فَتَفْتَضُّ بِهِ فَقَلَّمَا تَفْتَضُّ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا مَاتَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الشَّافِعِيِّ فَتَفْتَضُّ ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ فَتُعْطَى بَعْرَةً فَتَرْمِي بِهَا ثُمَّ تُرَاجِعُ بَعْدَمَا شَاءَتْ مِنْ طِيبٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ 15517 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ قَالَا نا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَذَكَرَ  

When the news of the death of Abu Sufyan reached from Sham, Um Habiba on the third day, asked for a yellow perfume and scented her cheeks and forearms and said, "No doubt, I would not have been in need of this, had I not heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "It is not legal for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days for any dead person except her husband, for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1280)   

جَاءَ نَعْيُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ دَعَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ ؓ بِصُفْرَةٍ فَمَسَحَتْ عَارِضَيْهَا وَذِرَاعَيْهَا الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ وَقَالَتْ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَغَنِيَّةً عَنْ هَذَا لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ فَإِنَّهَا تُحِدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "It is not permissible for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three days, except for a woman mourning her husband for four months and ten days." Shu'bah narrated to me, and Humeid ibn Nafi' narrated from Zaynab bint Abi Salamah, from her mother, and from a wife of the Prophet ﷺ similar to this. They reported this in the Sahih from the hadith of Shu'bah.  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا الْمَرْأَةَ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهَا وَعَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day, or believes in Allah and His Messenger, to mourn for a dead person for more than three days, except for her husband.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَوْ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجِهَا  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days, except for her husband, for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5339)   

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ فَإِنَّهَا تُحِدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا  

It is not permissible for a woman believing in Allah and the Hereafter to observe mourning on the dead for more than three (days), except in case of her husband. (Using translation from Muslim 1491)   

ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ وَرُوِّينَا فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ  

[Machine] "When Ja'far was injured, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me saying, 'Take my spear thrice and then do as you please.' However, Abdullah did not hear the names that were being said regarding him, therefore he is unreliable and Muhammad ibn Talha is not trustworthy. The narrations before him are more reliable, so we should refer to them. May Allah grant success."  

لَمَّا أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ ؓ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَسَلْبَنِي ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ اصْنَعِي مَا شِئْتِ فَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ سَمَاعُ عَبْدِ اللهِ مِنْ أَسْمَاءَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ فِيهِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ فَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَالْأَحَادِيثُ قَبْلَهُ أَثْبَتُ فَالْمَصِيرُ إِلَيْهَا أَوْلَى وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
